Hello! I want to object the rejection of the band Cabrocordero:



I respectfully ask for a re-submission. I do not agree that the band is an "experimental drone" act: while their debut album "Namastie Qoh" has two tracks that can qualify as "experimental drone" ("Araucaria" and "Plata y Desprestigio"), and even some songs have drone-like intros or interludes (album opener "Sendero Luminoso" for example), I think that the main genre of the band is sludge/doom metal with an alternative edge to it (I'm thinking of bands like Melvins or Big Business). The band may be a two piece consisting of bass guitar and drums, but they have metal riffs (just like, for example, the first OM record!). Maybe the mixing on this full length is muddy and not very clear, but their EP "Ofrenda Inicial" has a cleaner production and features songs that were later re-recorded for the full length; here is a link to the full EP:



I think I made the mistake of submitting the band with a very ambiguous genre (Sludge/Doom/Alternative/Experimental): I think the Sludge or Sludge/Doom tag ar the best way to describe the band sound.

P.S: I think I accidentaly hit the "re-submit" button while trying to read the rules, I'm sorry!

German band "Jaded Heart" (from Duisburg) after firing of Michael Bormann (v) on the year of 2004 turned into real metal band with some progressive influences. Just listen to its last albums "Common Destiny" (2012) & "Fight The System" (2014). No trace of AOR at all! I believe it's high time to add the band to The Metal Archives.

Can you let me resubmit the band Auré from El Salvador??

I tried to resubmit it but is blacklisted, the band release this year (tomorrow) their first EP, but this week some copies were sold, i have the EP, but the tracks are not in internet yet, i uploaded the EP for your listening.

Please let me know if i can resubmit.

I know Jeff Scott Soto's solo work isn't metal, but would his new band SOTO be metal enough for the site when the new album comes out in a week? Not sure exactly which subgenre I'd associate it with although there's definitely some groove metal in there and even some power metal like on End of Days.

90 second samples of every song on the upcoming album

A full track called The Fall, kind of Adrenaline Mob-ish.

Previously he had uploaded a full stream of the song Wrath but took it down after posting the 18 minute sampler there. Also I'm not sure if (assuming this new album is considered metal enough for the site) we should add his previous solo catalog onto his page since there seems to be a slight distinction between the two despite having the same current lineup.

I skimmed through the 2012 album a bit and it seemed like metallic melodic rock at first glance.

Your keyword is "metallic". Check up the last album. The band had been escaped from its melodic roots to metal gradually. But it's not yet death metal of course))

I'm a little bit mad about this..

I've been making a page for a band for a few months now, and I waited to put it in queue, until they released their EP.
They did yesterday, so I finished up the badn page, and suddenly, my page get rejected because somebody already had made a page... Today..

So, that isn't quite fair I think
- Especially when my page is better than his

First come, first served. thrashmetalhead09 submitted the band yesterday, 1 day before you did.
Also don't add releases limited to just 1 copy. These are not considered part of an official discography.

If you want to improve the entry he created, go ahead.

Then why at all, submit the pages to a queue, when it doesn't matter which page is best?
Try to imagine, jobinterviews. "Oh, wow, you're so good at this! High education etc. But you where the second guy to come here, too bad."

This concerns Amadeus Awad's Eon.

The band was blacklisted due to a premature submission by yours truly. The band's sound wasn't metal enough, I admit, which explains why I've never ventured to discuss that here before. You were right, and I was hasty. However, have a listen here:

Still not metal? How about a resubmission? ;P

"I've checked the entire album. Eeeeh, the metal parts still seem few and far between."


Yeah "Metal parts"... But that's no green light, is it? ^_~
Or................ is it?



How do I quote someone here?

This band's 2014 release doesn't sound like it is such an album.
